  The Foreigner     I will be honest I'm not sure what to think of this movie. I like the concept of the movie about revenge but I wish the movie was a little more fast paced. It seemed very repetitive with constant phone calls requesting the names of the bombers. The movie was a lot more of talking and plot development than actual action which I wasn't a huge fan of. If you compare it to some other movies like the Jason Bourne movies, there is a noticeable difference between them in my opinion in the topic of fast the movie progressed. I would probably not watch this movie again but I would recommend to watch it once.

  Casino Royale I really enjoyed this movie. I am huge on the action and spy movies. I think that this is the best of the Bond movies. I enjoyed this movie not just because of the action, but also because of the gambling. I used to love playing poker online and even took a masterclass on it a while back from on of the top players in the world. It was fun to watch the cards being flipped and the amount of suspense there is on the hand where Bond and Le Chiffre were all in. I would rank this movie in my top 10 of all time.

Extraction     I loved this movie. I enjoy watching modern combat movies that have constant action. I will say that this movie was very very far on the unrealistic side. Tyler was practically fighting an army by himself and seemed never to get hit or injured. I did like that the producers tried to balance it out a little bit by having him get shot in the neck at the end and "die" but there is still a massive imbalance in how realistic the movie was. Regardless of how realistic it was, it was still very entertaining to watch. The movie was a lot more violent and gruesome than movies like Mission Impossible or the James Bond movies. This movie has became my new favorite movie and I'm excited to watch Extraction 2.

  Suspicion      I personally despised this film. The film is about a woman named Lina who marries a man named Johnnie and she later has a fear that he is going to kill her for her money. I didn't like this film because older movies have slow plot development and they are not filled with constant action like modern movies are. These kind of movies do not appeal to what I like to watch. The ending was such a let down too which made me 100% sure that I did not enjoy the movie. The movie was also in black and white which makes me want to scream. I would not recommend this movie to a peer of mine to watch for entertainment.
